I took a bite and savored the delicious flavors. "Wow, this is amazing, Drew! How did you learn to cook like this?" I asked, impressed.

Drew chuckled softly, his lips curling into a small smile. "Let's just say I had ample time to hone my culinary skills during my college years," he explained, his tone light and casual.

"Cooking has always been a passion of mine, and it's also a great stress-reliever for me. There's something therapeutic about chopping vegetables and creating something delicious out of simple ingredients."

He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I find that cooking allows me to escape from the stresses of everyday life and immerse myself in the moment. It's a form of meditation for me, really."

He shrugged his shoulders, a slight grin still playing on his lips. "Plus, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of watching someone enjoy a meal that I've prepared with my own hands."

As I listened to him talk about his love for cooking, I felt

    I could feel his hands on my hips, pulling me closer to him, as we continued to kiss passionately. I felt his lips press against mine, and I was instantly consumed by a fiery desire.

My body already trembling with anticipation.He kissed his way down my neck, his hands trailing down my sides.

    He finished his last bite and stood up, looking at me with a twinkle in his eye. "Hop on," he said, gesturing to his back.I giggled, knowing exactly what he had in mind. I hopped on his back, and he carried me up the stairs, holding me close and making me feel safe and loved.As we reached the top of the stairs, I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and contentment wash over me. I was exactly where I wanted to be, in his arms, and in love.Drew carried me all the way to his bedroom, where he gently laid me down on the bed. He climbed in beside me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close to his chest."I love you," he whispered, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead."Me too," I replied, feeling my heart swell with affection.We lay there in silence for a while, simply enjoying each other's company and the comfort of being in each other's arms.After a few moments, Drew spoke up. "Do you remember the first time we met?" he asked, a playful smile on his face.I laughed, rememb

    He got back with a tray of mouth-watering pancakes, topped with fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream, accompanied by a cup of steaming hot coffee. The aroma of the food wafted towards me, and my stomach grumbled in anticipation.I smiled at him, taking in his disheveled hair and sleepy eyes, and sat up from the bed. He placed the tray in front of me, and I took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet scent of the pancakes. As I took the first bite, the fluffy texture melted in my mouth, and the sweetness of the strawberries complemented the bitterness of the coffee.He sat down next to me, and we enjoyed the meal in comfortable silence, lost in our own thoughts. The morning sun shone through the window, casting a warm glow on us.After we finished eating, he cleared the tray and turned towards me, his eyes shining with affection. "So, what are your plans for today?" he asked, his voice soft and gentle.I grinned, "I don't know if I told you, but Cullen got me a store for my

    I let out a chuckle at his cheeky comment, feeling my heart race with excitement at the thought of his hands on my body.Turning around to face him, I put on my most seductive smile, feeling a rush of anticipation coursing through me."Mmm, maybe I do," I purred, leaning back against the sink and giving him a suggestive look. "But I'm not sure you can handle it."He stepped closer, his eyes darkening with desire as he reached out to brush a strand of hair behind my ear. "Oh, I think I can handle anything you throw at me," he said, his voice low and husky.I felt a shiver run down my spine as he pressed his body against mine, his lips hovering just inches away from my neck."You know, I've always had a thing for a woman who knows what she wants," he whispered, his breath hot against my skin.I leaned my head back, giving him better access to my neck as he placed soft kisses along my collarbone, making me moan softly with pleasure. "Mmm, I think I might need some extra attention on cer

    I could feel myself getting wetter and wetter, and I knew that I needed him inside of me. He moved lower, his fingers tracing circles on my stomach before dipping down to stroke my clit. I gasped at the sensation, my hips rising to meet his touch.He looked up at me, his eyes dark with desire. "You're so wet for me," he said, his voice husky, sending shivers down my spine "I need to taste you."Without waiting for my response, Drew slowly lowered himself between my legs, his hot breath sending shivers through my body. He planted soft kisses on the inside of my thighs, moving closer and closer to where I needed him most.When his lips finally touched me, I gasped in pleasure, my fingers tangling in his hair. His tongue moved expertly over my most sensitive spot, sending waves of pleasure coursing through my body.I moaned his name over and over again, my hips arching up to meet his every movement. I reached down to grab his head, tangling my fingers in his hair as he devoured me. H

    I blushed, feeling my cheeks heat up. "Thank you," I replied, feeling grateful for his kind words.Drew took my hand and led me to the mirror, where we both stood side by side. "You know, I could get used to seeing you like this every day," he said, his eyes meeting mine in the reflection.I smiled, feeling my heart skip a beat at his words. "I don't think I could handle that much attention," I joked, turning to face him.Drew chuckled, pulling me into a tight embrace. "You'll get used to it, I promise," he said, his lips brushing against my ear.I pulled him into a soft kiss, he moaned as it got intense. Then I pulled back,"I've got to go," I said with a smile playing on my lips, trying to conceal my disappointment that our time together was coming to an end."I'll escort you," he replied, taking my hand in his and leading me down the staircase. We reached the bottom of the stairs and he opened the door for me. As we stepped out into the crisp evening air, he walked me to Cullen's

    I realized that I needed to leave, so I swiftly grabbed my laptop bag and purse before making my way downstairs. Carla, one of the staff members, appeared and politely inquired about my destination, in case Cullen needed to reach me."Excuse me, ma'am, if it's not too much trouble, may I ask where you are headed? Just in case Mr. Cullen needs to contact you," she asked with a polite tone."It's alright, I am going to the store and may be there for a while. Please expect me to return a bit late," I replied warmly."Of course, ma'am," Carla said before returning to the kitchen.Upon exiting the mansion, I scanned the compound for Cullen's driver, carefully surveying the area. My gaze eventually landed on him as he meticulously cleaned the G-wagon. I called out to him."Excuse me, can we head out now?" I asked eagerly.He simply nodded, and I proceeded towards him as he opened the back seat of the G-wagon for me. I walked over to the vehicle and gracefully entered the back seat, settl

    My phone rang, and I looked down to see that it was Evie calling. I answered the phone with a smile, "Hey Evie, what's up?""Hey, Brielle! Are you home? I want to come over," Evie asked."No, I'm not home. Actually, I'm at my new fashion store," I replied."Your fashion store? That's amazing! Can I come over and see it?" Evie said excitedly."Of course! I would love for you to come over. Let me text you the address," I said, already reaching for my phone."Great! I'll be there in about 30 minutes. Can't wait to see you and your new store," Evie said."Me too! See you soon," I replied, hanging up the phone.I quickly sent Evie a text with the address of my new store and sat back down in my chair with a sense of anticipation. It had been a while since I had seen Evie, and I was excited to show her my new venture.Although I still felt a bit guilty for the fact that she had feelings for Drew and Drew had feelings for her. I felt we could have been honest with her, but that wasn't possib

    "I know, I know it's not. But that's the least I could do to make it easier for you." Cullen said."Fine, alright then. For the safety of my son I'd do it." Drew said finally."Thank you, thank you so much." I said to Drew.Drew smiled."It's alright Brielle," Drew said."One more thing Drew," Cullen said."Oh come on cousin, what's it this time?" Drew asked, getting pissed at Cullen."C'mon relax," Cullen said, laughing."Okay I'm relaxed, what's it?" Drew "I'd have to will some of my Properties to your son," Cullen said "What? I don't get it" Drew said."I don't have an heir, I'm sterile Drew. You're the closest to a brother to me, your son is as well mine. Can't let the whole inheritance go to charity when there's someone who would have better use for it." Cullen said."This is too much Cullen, are you sure about this?"Drew asked, still uncertain about the complexity of the whole situation."I've thought about it thoroughly Drew, and that's my final decision.

    We fell asleep on the couch, and it was the gentle rays of sunlight streaming through the living room window that roused me from my deep slumber. Drew was still peacefully asleep, and as I gazed at him, I admired his handsome features. At that moment, I felt blessed to have him in my life, knowing that he had chosen to be with me despite my past mistakes.Careful not to disturb his rest, I quietly got up from the couch and made my way to the bathroom to take a refreshing shower. The warm water cascaded down my body, enveloping me in a soothing embrace.Suddenly, I felt Drew's presence behind me as he wrapped his arms around my waist, drawing me close to his firm body. His breath, hot and steamy, caressed my skin as he spoke playfully, "Having a bath without me?"I couldn't help but giggle at his playful comment and turned around to face him. "Not at all," I replied, standing on my toes to kiss him tenderly.In the cocoon of the warm, cascading water, Drew and I explored each other'

    "It's been a while Drew.." I said, raising my head to look up at him."What has been a while Brielle?" Drew asked, looking down."That we made out…" I said, my voice seductive as ever."So what are you suggesting..?" Drew asked, his tone sultry."What am I suggesting..?" I asked, my voice seductive as I went down on my knees and unzipped his trousers."Brielle…" he said, moaning. I moved my hand up and down continuously, before placing my mouth at the tip and then deep throating him slowly…He moaned my name, I continued.. this time faster. "Damn it Brielle," Drew said as my head game became more intense, he couldn't hold himself anymore, he pulled my head back and released in my mouth.I opened my mouth wide.. smiling seductively as he came all over my mouth.I rubbed his cum over my face and dived back into his dick, sucking him harder.This time around, he couldn't control himself, he lifted me up and carried me to the bedroom. He undressed me immediately and sucked my breasts a

    My heart pounded in my chest as I waited for Drew to answer the door. Every second felt like an eternity, and I tried to steady my nerves.Finally, the door opened, and there stood Drew, looking both surprised and delighted to see me."Brielle?" he exclaimed, a mix of confusion and excitement in his eyes. "What are you doing here?""Hey, Drew," I replied, trying to sound calm despite the storm of emotions inside me."What are you doing here?" he asked, stepping aside to let me in."I needed to talk to you," I said, stepping into his home.Drew closed the door behind me, uncertainty hanging in the air.As I entered his apartment, memories of the time we spent together flooded my mind. The familiarity of the place added to the intensity of the moment."I didn't expect to see you today," he said, his eyes searching mine for answers."I know, and I'm sorry for showing up unannounced, but there's something important we need to discuss," I said, trying to find the right words to convey my f

    "Carla, do you know if Cullen's mum stepped out?" I asked."Oh yes, she did a while ago. Hope no problem?" Carla inquired."Not at all, I just get tired of her talks most of the time, so I don't want to bump into her on my way out this evening," I said with a slight chuckle.Carla laughed too, understanding my sentiment. "I understand, ma'am. You're going out this evening?" she asked."Uh, yes. Why do you ask?" I replied, slightly curious."You actually need to pump for the baby; he finished his bottles earlier this afternoon," Carla informed me."Oh, alright. I'll do that before leaving," I said, reminding myself to take care of it."Okay, ma'am. Call if you need anything," Carla said politely before leaving the room.I finished styling my hair and took one last glance in the mirror, making sure everything looked perfect. With my hair styled, I felt a bit more confident about facing Drew. It was just my outfit that was left, I planned on doing that while I was done pumping for my ba

    I placed my son gently back into his crib, making sure he was comfortable, and quietly left the nursery. I wanted to avoid any unnecessary conversations with Cullen's mother, especially when I had so much on my mind.As I entered my room and dropped my bag on the bed, my phone suddenly began to ring. I glanced at the caller ID and was shocked to see Ignacio's name displayed."What does he want now?" I muttered to myself as I answered the call."Hello?" I said, trying to sound composed."Hi Brielle," Ignacio's voice came through the line."What do you want, Ignacio?" I asked, irritation evident in my voice."I just want to understand why you chose a contract marriage instead of giving our marriage another chance," Ignacio said.I scoffed at his question, "You got the money you wanted, right? So please stop calling me," I retorted and promptly hung up.Annoyed by his persistence, I tossed my phone onto the bed and decided to take a shower to calm my nerves. As I stood under the soothin

    I hesitated for a moment, still lost in thought. Then, I looked up at the waiter and said, "I'll have the same, thank you.""Great choice," Cullen said, giving me a playful wink.As the waiter left to place our orders, I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves."I'm really nervous about talking to Drew," I admitted, finally breaking the silence."I understand, Brielle. It won't be easy, but it's important to be honest with him," Cullen said, his voice reassuring."I know, I just don't want to hurt him any more than I already have," I said, my voice tinged with guilt."You didn't plan for any of this to happen," Cullen said. "And I truly believe Drew will understand that. Just be open and honest with him, like you were with me.""I hope you're right," I said, feeling a mix of anxiety and hope.Although I had planned for it, the only unexpected thing I didn't plan for was falling in love with Drew."I've known Drew for a long time, he's my cousin and I've seen how he cares about th

    "So, you said you told Drew something about me?" Cullen asked, his eyes searching mine for answers."Yes… I uhm.. I didn't tell him about Ignacio yet. See, the thing is, I really love Drew, and I don't want to lose him. I didn't know how he'd react if he knew I was married to Ignacio and still agreed to get married to you on a contract," I admitted, my voice tinged with apprehension."Hmm.. So what did you tell him?" Cullen inquired, his curiosity piqued."Well.. I kind of said you forced me into the contract marriage," I confessed.Cullen couldn't help but chuckle lightly, "Really, Brielle? Wow.. that's nice," he said with a hint of sarcasm."It's not what you think, Cullen. I just had to say something to protect both of us. And now he wants to confront you, but I couldn't let that happen because we haven't spoken yet. I needed you to understand the situation I was in when I said what I said about you," I explained earnestly."Listen, Brielle, I know my cousin. He's not a monster, an

    Just as we were deep in conversation, the front door opened, and Cullen walked in, looking slightly tired from a long day at work. His face lit up with surprise when he saw his mum sitting in the living room."Mum! What are you doing here?" Cullen asked, a mix of delight and curiosity in his voice.His mum beamed at him, "I thought I'd come for a surprise visit and spend some time with you and Brielle. I hope you don't mind, dear?"Cullen shook his head, a smile spreading across his face. "Of course not, Mum! It's great to see you."They shared a warm embrace, and I was glad to witness the bond between mother and son."I was just having tea with Brielle and catching up," his mum said, looking at me fondly.Cullen turned to me, "Did you know about this surprise visit?"I shrugged playfully, "Your mum kept it a secret from me too."Cullen chuckled and shook his head, "Well, I'm glad you're here, Mum."His mum patted his cheek affectionately, "I couldn't resist seeing my grandson .
